We got 2 gig of data from Telstra to use as we reviewed the HTC Desire. By last night I'd gone through an entire gigabyte of that already, since Tuesday lunchtime. I'm not sure what's going on here. Sure, I've been playing with it a lot but I use my Nokia 6120c a lot as well, and I get a maximum of 350 gig a MONTH with a $49 prepaid cap. So I've been using data about twelve times as fast on the Desire as on the Nokia. I also have only 5 gig a month on my home internet plan, and rarely go over that. Now admittedly I'm only using a cut-down brower on the Nokia, Opera Mini, which compresses web pages so you use a lot less data. I'd LIKE to switch from the Dolphin Browser to Opera Mini on the Desire and see if that makes a difference. However, you can't set Opera Mini as your default browser! This is ridiculous, and means to go through the process of opening something in Opera Mini destroys the smooth user experience which is one of the big pluses to the Desire. I've also told applications like Slidescreen and Twidroid to check for updates every hour, instead of every five minutes, which might help. I hope. I've installed the NetCounter app so I will monitor that when I'm not using the phone to see if lots of data is transferred in the background.
